The anisotropic poroelastic constants of an osteon are estimated by micromechanical analysis. Two extreme cases are examined, the drained and the undrained elastic constants. The drained elastic constants are the porous medium's effective elastic constants when the fluid in the pores easily escapes and the pore fluid can sustain no pore pressure. The undrained elastic constants are the porous medium's effective elastic constants when the medium is fully saturated with pore fluid and the fluid cannot escape. The drained and undrained elastic constants at the lacunar and canalicular porosity tissue levels are estimated by using an effective moduli model consisting of the periodic distribution of ellipsoidal cavities. These estimated anisotropic poroelastic constants provide a database for the development of an accurate anisotropic poroelastic model of an osteon.

Context: The structural stability, ground state magnetic order, electronic, elastic and thermoelectric properties of NdMn in the C15, C14 and C36 polytypic phases is investigated. The magnetic phase optimization and magnetic susceptibility reveal that NdMn is antiferromagnetic (AFM) in C36 phase; and paramagnetic (PM) in C14 and C15 phases respectively. The band profiles and electrical resistivity show the metallic nature in all these polytypic phases and reveal that the C36 phase possesses smaller resistivity.

Carbon nanomaterials, particularly carbon nanotubes (CNTs), are widely used as reinforcing fillers in rubber composites for advanced mechanical and electrical applications. However, the influence of rubber functionality and its interactions with CNTs remains underexplored. This study investigates electroactive elastomeric composites fabricated with CNTs in two common diene rubbers: natural rubber (NR) and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), each with distinct functionalities.

For those piezoelectric materials that operate under high-power conditions, the piezoelectric and dielectric properties obtained under small signal conditions cannot be directly applied to high-power transducers. There are three mainstream high-power characterization methods: the constant voltage method, the constant current method, and the transient method. In this study, we developed and verified a combined impedance method that integrated the advantages of the constant voltage and current methods, along with an improved transient method, for high-power testing of PZT-5H piezoelectric ceramics.

The aim of this research was to obtain two-layer polymer composites with favorable mechanical and functional properties. The composites consisted of one lower layer of polymer with less elastic properties, containing no admixtures, and one upper layer of polymer with more elastic properties, containing plant admixtures, in the amount of 10% by weight of either goldenrod ( L.), or of turmeric ( L.

A set of carrageenans produced in the potassium form and with chemical structures varying from pure iota-carrageenans to nearly pure kappa-carrageenans is submitted to ultrasonication to reduce their molecular masses Mw while maintaining a constant chemical structure and a polydispersity index around 2. The kinetics of ultrasound-induced chain scission are found to be slower for polysaccharides richer in kappa-carrageenan disaccharide units. From the elasticity of samples directly gelled in a rheometer at 1 /% in 0.
